I'm back from my 3 month hiatus. I will try and get an update out every month until at least Christmas, plus try and update a few other states besides Illinois and Ohio, but for now, enjoy this update!

We'll see. I included Providence and Toledo since I didn't have to edit the state page too much. I'm considering splitting Ohio into 3 sections like Illinois and Wisconsin this winter, so it might wait until then. In the meantime, I'm gonna try and do Michigan for my next update.

Do ya plan on including the updated pages from Michigan that I sent to you? I also have a new Michigan page that I can send to you.

I came up with the idea of splitting the Ohio page into 5 sections for each region. If we do decide to do this I can make all five pages and send them to you. What do you guys think?

I think normally how we split states is by alphabetical order, so I'm not sure how well this'd work. Especially if other people have different definitions of what constitutes an area in a state.

I'm probably also gonna split Alabama at some point as well, though it'd take a while.

I got the map from the The University of Akron's website, I've also seen similar divisions of Ohio. I just thought it would be more interesting than the usual alphabetical order for splitting state pages.

That is true and it would be neat, maybe we could explain the divisions are based on the regions drawn up by the University of Akron. However, it is also worth noting that there is an issue with cities and towns that exist in two counties that are in two regions, which would cause an issue.

Though feel free to send me a copy of the page. I have an idea I want to try out.

R.I.P. HMCR 8933; 1951-2013. Hasn't been moved since it was put next to Huntsville High School in 2015.

Send me or any other admin a PM/e-mail if you want to submit crossing photos to the site!

I actually encountered that while making this. If we go through with this I think I'll sort it out by figuring out which region that contains most of the community or figuring out what region that most of the crossings in the community are in or maybe even a combination of the two.
